High-Performing and Scalable Storage Solutions
Determining high-performing and scalable storage solutions is essential for ensuring that applications can handle varying data loads efficiently and reliably. In this task, solutions architects must evaluate and select the appropriate AWS storage service—such as Amazon S3, EFS, or EBS—based on performance requirements such as latency, throughput, and IOPS. By understanding the unique characteristics of different storage types (object, file, and block storage) and their use cases, architects can design storage architectures that not only meet current demands but also scale seamlessly to support future growth and evolving business needs.
Types of AWS Storage Services
In Chapter 5, Storage, you learned about the key AWS storage services: Amazon S3, Amazon EFS, and Amazon EBS.
Briefly, Amazon S3 is an object store, making it ideal for a wide range of use cases, including data backups, content distribution, big data analytics...
